Ngokomthombo ofanayo, amasaha amaketango ahlukaniswa abe: amasaha kaphethiloli, amasaha kagesi, amasaha omoya, namasaha asebenza ngamanzi.Izinzuzo kanye nokubi zalezi zinhlobo ezine zamasaha kagesi zisobala:
Uphethiloli wabona: ukuhamba okuqinile, okulungele umsebenzi weselula wasensimini.Nokho, inomsindo, inzima ukuyinakekela, futhi ikhiqiza ukushisa okwengeziwe.
I-chainsaw kagesi: amandla azinzile, isiqalo esisheshayo, esikhulu kunamanye amasaha.Kodwa uma ulayini umude kakhulu, kuzoba nzima ukunyakaza.
I-Pneumatic Chainsaw: iphephile futhi ayinakungcola, inomsindo ophansi nesisindo esincane.Kodwa-ke, i-compressor yomoya kufanele ifakwe, eyandisa indawo yaphansi futhi ingaphansi kwemibandela.
I-Hydraulic chainsaw: Amandla anele, kodwa ukuqalisa kuhamba kancane futhi umsebenzi uzinzile.Ivolumu yesiteshi sepompo ye-hydraulic incane kunaleyo ye-compressor yomoya.izindleko eziphezulu.
